Alcohol Restrictions, Curfew Lifted In King
Police Chief: King Remains Under State Of Emergency Until Monday
KING, N.C. -- Authorities lifted a curfew and alcohol restrictions in King on Sunday, but said a state of emergency declaration remained in effect until Monday. Authorities said the state of emergency declaration would continue until Monday 9 a.m., barring any unforeseen circumstances or severe changes. Effective Sunday afternoon, alcohol restrictions and a curfew were lifted. All other remaining restrictions would continue until Monday, said Paula May, King police chief. Other restrictions include a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person's own premises. Also on Sunday, the emergency shelter established by the American red Cross at West Stokes High School was closed. "We appreciate the support and cooperation of everyone with our efforts to keep the citizens of King safe," May said. The state of emergency was declared Friday due to severe weather.
Be interested to read the law which allows a police chief to suspend the second amendment.
Imagine what would happne if something really big happened? I could see this on a national level. And the people stocking up are “kooks”.....yeah right!
Ping.

What they banned for a state of emergency due to weather is ridiculous.
It looks like a trial run to me.....

WHAT THE HELL COUNTRY IS THIS CRAP FROM?
Snow = no weapons or booze??
A woman police chief?
Dear G-d, make this suicidal insanity disappear, permanently.
What a crock. Snow is now reason for martial law? We would be screwed here in Pittsburgh.
Just another pissant goverment type who thinks with thier ass.
Paula May, police chief, and acting Emperor of King, NC, Suspends U.S. Constitution....
Chief Snowflake Queen 1998 is all worked up about snow. Did she get advice from a city attorney? If so, who would that be, and when was it discussed?
There needs to be reading literacy tests for all elected officials.
For instance can they read, and comprehend, shall not be infringed?
Also they must be able to read, and comprehend the second word in Nazi.
***I mean PING! LOL***
Thank you for explaining. I thought you were talking to me. LOL!
While this is obviously pretty stupid, I don’t see the ban on gun sales as a problem. Most folks in that area are either already pretty well armed or they’re Democrats.
Now, the ban on alcohol sales might well be a problem.
Any freaking excuse. A liberal who thinks he can save one life, just one life, so long as that life is not too young and innocent [unborn].

This isn’t the dingbat that looks like a drum majorette in uniform, is it?
It is a problem in that it is totally unreasonable.
King is on a major highway. So if you ride down that highway and stop there for fuel, you are in violation.
If you are a resident and carry a weapon to the corner store at night, you are in violation.
But even more important, who is she that she can declare a state of emergency?
There are places in NC with more snow. They have not.
She is a nut case.
Chief May began working for the city of King October 17th, and has already ignored the 2nd amendment. On the bright side, Chief Snowflake-in-her-cleavage has been featured on crime solving shows twice. Smooth move, there, on your 111 day on the job.
I guess they are worried some new gun owner will slip on ice and shoot themselves.
